Review: Shiseido Tsubaki Shining Shampoo and Conditioner

Hi!!

I want to do a review about an awesome hair products that I've been using for years although I'm currently on a switch period right now. I change my shampoo and conditioner to other brand every now and then because otherwise a certain brand just won't work on me anymore. The first time I found out about this shampoo is from a Japanese Movie called "Air Doll" (Googled it up if you're curious) and in it the main character use the Shiseido Tsubaki to wash his "girlfriend" hair. I got curious so I lookup for an online local seller that sells it and it got me to Nihonmart.

I rarely bought pricier products for my hair but since it's Shiseido I figure that I have to try it for once. I mean I sometimes splurge for a good skincare products but why not do it for haircare right? My first purchase is the full 500ml set but this time I bought the smaller size (220ml) because I was low on cash he he he....

The key ingredients of the Shiseido Tsubaki is of course "Tsubaki" or Camellia Japonica oil. It is rich in oleic and linoleic acid and it's perfect for hair nourishment.

Both shampoo and conditioner has similar design and you won't notice it directly. I sometimes have to read the bottle first before I use it but later I found out that they have different top. The shampoo top is more rounded and the conditioner top is flat so that you can put the conditioner bottle upside down when it's about too run out. Even though they're made from plastic it doesn't look cheap at all.

Both shampoo and conditioner has a nice floral scent, I guess it's the scent of Tsubaki?? The Shampoo is milky colored and has runny consistency while the conditioner has similar color but creamier consistency.

I usually use about a dime size at first and if I still feel that my hair is still dirty I rinse and lather again. The foam aren't that much but enough since I don't think too much foam in a shampoo is good anyway. Back when I don't change my hair color often shampooing with Shiseido is already quite moisturizing for my hair but now it's not enough. BUt I do still think that this Shampoo performs better and didn't dry my hair as much as other shampoo.

The conditioner works really well in detangling my hair in the shower and if your hair is quite dry like mine then you'll love the soft silky feels this conditioner gave to your hair. BUt if your hair is normal then I suggest you use the conditioner sparingly.
